New findings of snow mold fungi from Greenland

Three species of snow mold fungi, Myriosclerotinia borealis (syn. Sclerotinia borealis), Typhula incarnata and T. ishikariensis (syn. T. borealis), were collected from Nuuk, Sisimiut, Ammassalik and Kulusuk in Greenland. Myriosclerotinia borealis and T. incarnata are new records from Greenland. Some...

Description
Summary:Three species of snow mold fungi, Myriosclerotinia borealis (syn. Sclerotinia borealis), Typhula incarnata and T. ishikariensis (syn. T. borealis), were collected from Nuuk, Sisimiut, Ammassalik and Kulusuk in Greenland. Myriosclerotinia borealis and T. incarnata are new records from Greenland. Some isolates of T. ishikariensis were collected from Nuuk and Ammassalik and all isolates from Sisimiut showed irregular growth as hyphal extensions at 10°C in potato dextrose agar plates. These physiological characteristics of some isolates from Greenland are similar to those of psychrotrophisolates (group III strains) from Finnmark, northernmost Norway and Svalbard.
